How do I get get my business online?       

First of all, you must establish who the audience is for your site. This is critical, because many design and content decisions depend on this. Does your target audience access the web from home, work or school? How fast is their Internet connection? Is your content considered informative or entertainment? Make sure you know the answers to these questions from the outset.

The design must be well organized, both for the benefit of your visitors and to make it simple to maintain. Start by mapping out your site in storyboard or schematic form. Use index cards to symbolize the prospective web pages. You can rearrange them very quickly. This provides a simple way to visualize the structure of your website prior to contacting a professional developer.

When you're ready to build your web site, select a company who has experience with similar projects of your scope and size. Choose a company that has "Good Taste" in design. Stay away from companies that use cheap looking themes and non appealing design. Remember "The first impression is the last impression", so make sure your website design will make that first impression a positive and lasting one.

Keep in mind that a website is a continual work-in-progress. Nearly all websites change fairly often because the technology makes e-publishing relatively simple. New content and features can be easily added without having to redesign the site.
